In reply to the discussion: *** Help a DUer *** Sunday, 8/4/13 [View all]OneGrassRoot
(23,954 posts)29. Good point, and I just edited to do that.
Edit to add: Thanks for the recommendation to do that; I do think that's best in this situation.
I'm not promoting anyone. I provide the space for people to connect to help one another, if they so choose.
Is what he wrote that was so objectionable available to be viewed anywhere? I often disagree with DUers and find some things offensive whereas others don't, and vice versa.
Plus, being kicked off of DU doesn't a bad person make...lol. We all know many people who have been banned over the years who are good friends...decent people...DU just wasn't the place for them any more.
I'm not blaming anyone. I try to avoid the nastiness here -- which takes some effort, let me tell ya -- but when it can enter into the most well-meaning of posts, and that is precisely what is likely to happen henceforth, I'm done providing this service in this way.

I'm sorry this is the avenue you feel you need to take. May I offer a suggestion.

if people later found out they'd donated to this, some would be upset if it were kept in PMs

it wasn't classless. the poster's status was part of the story urging donations
